Barnes Cray questions
Do you cover smaller places like Barnes Cray?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Barnes Cray in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Barnes Cray is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Glazing silicone in Barnes Cray
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant around rooflight glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Houses in smaller places like Barnes Cray can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Barnes Cray
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Letting a property close to Slade Green station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Homes in smaller places like Barnes Cray can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- One-year guarantee on every job

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Frames and glazing around Barnes Cray
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Hall Place and Gardens (about 1.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Barnes Cray has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit to Barnes Cray is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
